Will give brainliest solve 2(x + 1) + 4 = 8. 1 6.5 4 3 explain how it is done so i

We solve this equation by isolating x. We first go about subtracting 4 from both sides
            2(x + 1) + 4 = 8
         2(x + 1) + 4-4 = 8-4
                     2(x+1) = 4
We divide both sides of the equation by 2 so that the 2 over the parentheses cancels out to become a 1.
                     2(x+1) = 4
                  2(x+1)/2 = 4/2
                          x+1 = 2 
Subtract 1 from both sides
                               x = 1  
The answer is x = 1 as that is the value that will make the equation true. If you substitute x = 1 in for x, you will get                               
                      2(1 + 1) + 4 = 8
                            2(2) + 4 = 8
                                 4 + 4 = 8
                                         8= 8
and that is a true equation.
